OAuth Server

This section describes how to use the TIBCO API Exchange Gateway OAuth server.

The OAuth 2.0 framework enables a third party application to access private data to which a user has granted permission. OAuth 2.0 is an open standard for authorization that allows a third party application user to share data from a site that owns data, without exposing any credentials to the application that is being accessed. TIBCO API Exchange Gateway supports the OAuth 2.0 framework.

The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework specification can be found at the following location:
